Inglewood Blight Brigade – June 23, 2012
On Saturday, June 23 the SEIU 721 Blight Brigade, which includes members from our partners at Good Jobs LA, culminated a week of work with visits to almost 700 homes and other properties in Inglewood which banks have foreclosed on or are threatening with foreclosure.
Volunteers found that one in seven of these properties was scarred by neglect. They found feral animals fouling yards, a long-neglected swimming pool filled with filth and many other signs of the banks’ failure to care for properties they seized from our neighbors.
